Tom Osborn: Devin Vassell told me he's not sure if the new starting five will continue: "I think we're just trying out new stuff to see different lineups, different ways how to space the floor, so we'll just see what happens with that. But I don't know if it's a permanent thing or not."
Spurs forward Devin Vassell is set to return to action Sunday at home against New Orleans after missing 13 games in a row with a left adductor strain. Vassell, who fully participated in Saturday morning's practice, said he expects to be on a minutes restriction against the Pelicans.
Tom Orsborn: Devin Vassell told us after practice this morning he will return to action Sunday against New Orleans. He’s responding here to a question about whether he will be on a minutes restriction.
Brandon Rahbar: Lu Dort is OUT tonight vs the Spurs. Isaiah Hartenstein remains out. Devin Vassell is out for San Antonio.
The timetable could be a bit longer for the Spurs' other missing starter, shooting guard Devin Vassell. Vassell suffered a left adductor strain in Monday's loss against Cleveland, an injury later confirmed by an MRI. "That will be more than a few games," Johnson said. "Just kind of have to continue to see how he ramps up and feels."

“I trust in Mitch 100%,” Spurs guard Devin Vassell said. “Mitch was my player development coach when I first got here, so I think me and him have an even better connection than the outside sees. But we all trust him. He’s the brains of all of this. He helps us with everything ... and we’re just going to keep relying on him. He’s our head coach and we trust in him.”
Paul Garcia: In the win vs Toronto: Wemby 24 pts, 15 reb, 2 stl, 1 blk Castle 22 pts Barnes 18 pts, 5 ast Devin 15 pts, 5 reb, 5 ast Harper 11 pts, 6 reb, 6 ast Keldon 10 pts Champagnie 9 pts, 9 reb, 1 blk Spurs were a +13 from the FT line
Sources add that Phoenix is not enamored with the players San Antonio has made available in the teams' talks to date. It is obviously presumed that Kevin Durant would relish the opportunity to play alongside Victor Wembanyama, but it is also believed that the Spurs are only willing to discuss veterans such as Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes. The Spurs just managed to acquire De'Aaron Fox from Sacramento largely on their terms and the notion now of surrendering newly named Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle or the No. 2 selection in this month's draft is simply a non-starter.
